what lyricists do you admire?

Lyrics are an art, and art is subjective so you can get away with almost anything... Just saying.

Just unleash your subconscious and don't restrict yourself. Also what the first user said..

Do you like poetry and classic literature?

Start by reading as much as you can of the old masters. (Ok, just start with one poetry compilation book. I think the first one I read was called something like American Anthology Of Poetry. Or something like that.)

When singing, you will be using poetic license a whole lot to stretch a rhyme or cut down a long bit of prose into something that kind of rhymes.

Also listen to classic rock and roll a whole bunch, if you like rock and roll.

When you write, write from the heart. AKA Write what you know. Go out and live a little to keep your moral and interest up.
